Some observations and some thoughts

of the passing scene...

1. Nikki Haley DID say that she'd go to war over Crimea ( one of Ukraine's territorial claims). I'd have to review Ramaswamy's question again, but if memory serves, he asked what provinces that she was willing to FIGHT over. If she named Crimea, that's a BIG MISTAKE. Why? Possession is 9/10ths of ownership. Russia has important military bases in Crimea. Very important. So, if Nikki Haley is willing to put boots on the ground to free Crimea from Russia, then that means war with Russia. Pretty sure she'd back off of that one if she was confronted with it. But she probably wasn't asked, and even if she was, she also made a statement in that debate that she wouldn't respond anymore to Ramaswamy. She stepped into the doo-doo there, I'm sure.

2. With respect to the Islamic Jihad on Israel, if Biden and his ilk cared anything about international law, he would point out that the taking of civilian noncombatants cannot be in keeping with international law. Indeed, it is a war crime. If the government of Gaza supported it, then they too are guilty of war crimes. Indeed, this is worse than 9-11-2001, because there was no direct state involvement the 9-11 attacks, but there was here. That's why this is taking an ominous turn. The jihadist feel strong enough to attack directly on a state level. In the meantime, Biden props up Iran and the terrorists, and allows them free rein in the USA. Not only that, the Biden administration has made terrorists and their sympathizers a protected class.

Does it make much sense to negotiate with terrorists? This administration is not only doing that, but aiding and abetting it.

3. As for the GOP debate itself, although it is an improvement over allowing commies control over it, it cannot be said that it was in itself sufficient to make the entire thing worthwhile. The questioning was uninspired. If it were, some of these issues would have been discussed in more depth. If that were the case, the fact that Nikki Haley is defintely out of her depth, would have been much more obvious.

Update a little bit later...

Yes, he did mention fighting over Ukraine, and she did later say "Crimea". Listen carefully. The part about Haley mentioning Crimea was not in this video, but probably later in the debate. Note: I definitely heard her say Crimea.
